The first line of your "main.prg" must have a PARAMETERS statement to accept the parameters.
Then, just pass them on the command line like:
MyApp param1, param2, param3 ...
The parameters will go into the program as strings.

And I need to account for the possibility that the application is already running. I can do this with PARAMETERS statement, but I also have a trap in the PRG to prevent a second instance of the program from starting. So now I have that trap "drop a turd" with the record search info using fcreate() and then I have a timer in the program file look for the turd every 2 seconds and go to that record. Crude but it works.
